  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction Introduction Foreword This manual describes the main functions of the VIBSCAN- NER as well as the most important steps of its operation. The optional firmware modules ‘FFT Analysis’, ‘Balancing’ and ’Signal Analysis’ are described in the manual ‘VIB- SCANNER - FFT-Analysis & Balancing’ (VIB 9.664.G). An online help function is integrated in the instrument that can be called up at any time via the menu.
  • Page 5 Introduction General safety The following notes must be carefully read and completely understood before VIBSCANNER is put into service. Risk of injury when measuring on a running machine! Observe the safety regulations. Install the measure- ment equipment properly. During measurement on WARNING! machines with rotating parts exposed, ensure that no brackets, cables etc.

  • Page 10: Power Supply

    Description Power supply VIBSCANNER is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery, which is installed in the handle of the device. The battery is charged by the VIBSCANNER Charger (VIB 5.420). During the charging process, VIBSCANNER is switched off and the battery remains inside the instrument.
  • Page 11 Description Operating state during charging The charge level of the batteries is indicated by two LEDs: • Red lights up: battery is being charged • Green lights up: battery is charged • Red flashes: battery is defective or initialization (only beginning to charge;...
  • Page 12 Description In order for the display to show the actual charge level of the battery again, proceed as follows: • Leave the VIBSCANNER switched on until the battery is almost fully discharged when the message appears: Battery empty  If the message appears during a measurement, you have approximately another 30 minutes time to termi- N ote nate your work and save the data.
  • Page 13: Operation

    Operation Operation Operating elements The VIBSCANNER has three operating elements: Joystick The joystick moves the cursor either horizontally or verti- cally on the screen. By pressing down on the joystick (‘clicking’), the selection is confirmed (ENTER function).

    Multimeter Multimeter measurement VIBSCANNER can be used as a measuring instrument for characteristic overall values. This section describes the operating sequence of these measurements in the multime- ter mode. Vibration measurement, internal transducer You can measure machine vibrations above 10 Hz as well as high frequency shock pulse signals of bearings and cavitation using the built-in vibration transducers.

  • Page 28: Temperature Measurement

    Multimeter Temperature measurement The temperatures of surfaces and liquids can be measured with the built-in temperature probe (-50 to +100 °C). External transducers must be used for wider temperature ranges (see page 60)  Please note that it can take some seconds until the probe reaches the temperature of the surface.
  • Page 29: Rpm Measurement

    Multimeter RPM measurement  For a reliable RPM measurement, a reflecting mark (e.g. Reflective tape, VIB 3.306) must be attached to the shaft. Note If you attach more than one measurement mark to the circumference of the shaft, you must enter the number in the transducer setup (‘Pulse/Rev.’...
  • Page 30: Shock Pulse Measurement (Bearing Condition)

    Multimeter Shock pulse measurement (bearing condition)  To measure high frequency shock pulse signals, use either the internal vibration transducers, the TIPTEC- TOR, the VIBCODE hand-held probe or industrial Note transducers with a resonant frequency of 36kHz from PRÜFTECHNIK. Mount the transducer at the location with the strongest signal within the load zone.
  • Page 31 Multimeter • The RPM can be entered manually or measured before the shock pulse measurements are performed. - Manual input: Set the ‘Mode’ parameter to ‘Manual Input’ and enter the 60Hz: 3600 rpm RPM value 50Hz: 3000 rpm; The value is retained after the - Measurement: instrument is switched off.

  • Page 33: User-Defined Measurement Tasks

    Multimeter User-defined measurement tasks Process parameters (e.g. pressure) can be measured as a level (DC) or as a characteristic value of a signal (AC). Level measurement (DC) To check and set up the measuring parameters: • Select the icon for level measurements in the main window.
  • Page 34: Machine Specific Measurement Tasks

    Multimeter (screen Σ2) Machine specific measurement tasks A reliable assessment of the vibration status of a machine can be carried out with the aid of suitable variables. It has been shown that - independent of the machine type and RPM range - only certain vibration values can be used. For example, the shock pulse value provides satisfactory results for high-speed and medium high-speed running bearings, but, for slow-speed bearings (n<120 min...
  • Page 35: Trend

There- after, the route is considered to have been processed. Example: If an aggregate is temporarily switched off, no measurements can be performed on it.
  • Page 41: Adaptive Measurement Task

    Route Adaptive measurement task (only for characteristic overall values) In ‘adaptive measurement tasks’ a further diagnostic mea- surement starts automatically when a limit has been exceeded. In this way, the sequence of the route adapts itself to the local machine status (‘adaptive’). This diagno- stic measurement may be a spectrum or further characteris- tic overall value and was defined in the OMNITREND software.

    Route Visual inspection In addition to electrically measurable machine signals, you can also enter data in VIBSCANNER that you collect by visual inspection. The designated measurement tasks are created in the OMNITREND PC software and downloaded within a route into the data collector. The inspection data can then be entered onsite either as an event or choosen from a list with predefined results.
  • Page 44: Measurement With The Vibcode Transducer

    Route Measurement with the VIBCODE transducer The processing of the route is simplified by the use of the VIBCODE transducer as the transducer recognizes the measurement location from the coding and the pro- grammed measurement tasks are performed automatically. • Connect the VIBCODE transducer to the instrument. Use the cable supplied for this (VIB 5.436).
